Onion does funny

You’re all aware of how much we like The Onion… And they love Bono. Almost as much as we do.


C’mon, surely they can do better than that?

  1. Why is it the bigger Bono and the boys get, and the more they are involved in very important causes, the more they get criticized? I just don’t get it. I don’t see or hear of The Onion giving anything back to the world other than misinformed opinion.

  3. From a purely distancing-myself perspective, I agree with you Chris, this was a much better attempt at making fun than the last time. I chuckled at a couple of them meself. Of course, from a purely fangirl perspective I’d like to give *the Onion* a good cockpunching. 😉

  5. moderately funny . . . Springsteen comment was great.

    The whole point of the Onion is to present informed opinion dressed up as satire. Misinformed opinion, trust me – these guys know what is going on in the world.

  7. Yeah, I know, I ‘don’t get it because I’m Dutch and don’t know enough of American pop culture’ to be able to understand the deep and meaningful insights of The Onion.

  9. Geesh, guys, this isn’t malicious! If I couldn’t laugh when people make fun of my boy, then I can’t laugh at myself!

  11. Does anyone else find it ironic that THE ONION, which lives and dies by irony, is making ironic fun of the man widely blaimed for The Death Of Irony? … come to think of it, I think I might be on vonb’s side now. ;-D

  13. Anyone happen to notice the poll question over on @u2.com? The good news is, their options are even funnier than the Onion bit, the bad news is I guess they are now the Alanis Morrisette of U2 fan sites. I could have sworn they loved the band as much as I do, but I guess the ironic double irony or something means they don’t, since apparently laughing at Bono is a no no. I just hope Bono knows that. He seems to have as much fun laughing at himself as anyone else.
